~December 1, 2014, Nick and Selena’s house

Selena: *strums her guitar, then puts it down* *sighs* I miss you so much, Nick. *phone rings* Hello?

Nick: Hey Selena.

Selena: Nick! It’s so good to hear your voice again.

Nick: It’s not been easy for me either. I can’t handle it without having you by my side every day.

Selena: I’m sorry, baby.

Nick: I mean the hours are kind of strict, but I like it when I’m sitting outside with my guitar.

Selena: That’s great.

Nick: I thought you were coming to visit.

Selena: I know. But it hasn’t been easy for me either. I do have to take care of Nathan and Natalya by myself. My mom comes by a few times, but that’s just it. Demi is busy with her own life and Joe continues to go out with his friends. I’m really worried for her.

Nick: *sighs* I was worried this would happen. I knew I couldn’t trust Joe with Demi.

Selena: Nick, don’t get involved with them. Remember what happened last time? Just let them figure it out. They will get past this for their baby.

Nick: Let’s hope.

Selena: I’ve been okay, thanks for asking.

Nick: I love you too. Have you done any planning so far?

Selena: Just looking at colors and flowers arrangements for the centerpieces. I don’t get much time to do that with the little ones crying.

Nick: I’m sorry I’m not there with you, Lena.

Selena: It’s okay. But for a while, I play on my guitar and I’m working on a song.

Nick: Really? Can I hear it?

Selena: No…

Nick: Why not?

Selena: Because I’m not done and I want it to be perfect.

Nick: I’m sure it’s amazing and I can’t wait to hear it.

Selena: I don’t know. I had to sample from Mariah’s Triumphant because I needed a hook and it just worked.

Nick: I don’t think you can do that.

Selena: Calm down. I got permission from her manager and they’re helping me with the rhythm.

Nick: What?

Selena: I’m planning on releasing this song.

Nick: Are you sure about that?

Selena: It’s happening, Nick. I think it’s very sweet. I really don’t care if it makes it onto the charts. I just want people to hear my side of the story.

Nick: Alright then. I obviously cannot stop you.

Selena: I also put in a line from you.

Nick: What do you mean?

Selena: You’re just going to have to wait.

Nick: I’m very impatient, Selena. And if it’s something from our recordings, you got to let me know.

Natalya: *cries*

Selena: Damn it. Look, I got to go, Nick. Natalya is upset.

Nick: Goodbye, Selena. *hangs up*

Selena: What was that about? *upset* Not again. Please don’t do this to me again. *phone rings* Hello?

Nick: Selena, I’m sorry for talking to you like that. I didn’t mean it.
